How to Play Bug House Chess












The Anpanman twins and their friends are demonstrating how to play Bug House chess. It's a team game. One teammate will play white, and the other black. It's pretty much a regular chess game, except if you take a piece from your opponent, you can give it to your teammate to use during his next turn! Here, we're demonstrating how Anpanman got a black queen from his teammate and has placed it on the board. Now, mind you, you can't place a pawn in the promotion row or anything like that. When the other team is checkmated, you win! More detailed rules here. We're going to play in a friendly Bug House tournament tonight ourselves. Enjoy!

  3. That's way cool! We're gonna buy a new chess board for our boys since their last one broke. I love how they are into chess.

    I never knew about the version you mentioned.

  4. As chess is complete double dutch to me (as in I do not know how to play it)... I am presuming it's fun and I hope you have a lovely time.

Bringing Garbage Home

Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back...
